I have a  66 corsa 140 with bad lifters.I have tried cleaning and reinstall 
with no  luck. What is the opinion of replacing all lifters? I know you are 
to use  a special lube on new lifters with new cam. How about new lifters 
with  lube with a used cam? Any ideas? Thanks Steve  Till



ALL the lifters are bad?  What are the  symptoms--clacking?  It is unusual 
for all the lifters to  be bad.  Doublecheck the valve adjustment first per 
the manual (or one  of the online sources like the VV archives).  Do you 
have adequate oil  pressure?  When you removed and cleaned the lifters did you 
sort them and  put them back in the same bores?  Is a Corvair club member 
nearby who can  help you doublecheck everything and isolate potential problems 
one by one until  you have identified the real problem(s)?  Let VV know.
